Hmmm I don't get this. Do you have a patch that will reproduce the bug?
(I am also able to send messages longer than 32 bytes, with
MAX_I2C_BUF_SIZE 64 in my copy of pii2c.c.)
I used a teeny 3.2 as a slave (using i2c_t3 from
https://github.com/nox771/i2c_t3) listening on all addresses. It only
receives the messages on the addresses I set in the Pd patch.

Perhaps you have a hidden [pii2c 0x0A] somewhere that is also
receiving your write messages.
Since [pii2c] is using the same memory space for each message any new
message will effectively erase the old ones, so it's hard to explain
two different messages coming from a single object.
